curious about something

I am curious about how the scammer whose name shall not be mentioned knewthe email address used for my other account. I could see getting the emailI use here, but it also sent me a scam email to the email address I used toset up my alternate account. I tried to find that email address in thepublic view of user skientist_ii, and could not find my email address.

This baffling thing shall have me spending a sleeples night, I just know it.Kind of like when there is a cricket chirping but you can't figure out whereit is, or when someone asks you if Adam and Eve had bellybuttons.

Your email address isn't made public on the neopets site.

Have you used it to post to usenet in the past perhaps?

There must be a logical explanation as I do not think we are dealing with a mastermind hacker here. :-)

That's just it - it is an email address I use for posting, but not anythingNeopets-related - and the newsgroups I use it in are all fractal and CGIbinaries groups.

I entered the email that shows when I look at the properties of this post and it showed 4 other places where you post.

Would a google groups search of your name turn it up?

Oh - yes, it would, and a Neopets reference link on at least 3 web pagesassociated with that email address. That 'splains it!

I didn't know one could easily dothat. I knew someone could find easily what other groups I posted in asamhwidner, but leagning my other identities is an interesting thing. ThoughI do have a web page where they are all listed, including one occasionallyused in IRC.
